There is something special about boots. They are just as essential as heels, and here are 5 pairs you should have in your shoe-cupboard.
Faux suede ankle boots – Much more durable than their genuine suede counterparts, these animal-friendly boots are so versatile that you can team it up with almost anything. Though we’ve seen that light browns and tans are a popular choice, dark grey is the colour to look out for this fall. Suede boots with their just-the-right-heels make them comfortable to wear while giving your height that little boost that’ll make sure people won’t size you up and then drop their eyes to see if you’re faking it with the heels.

Western boots
Nothing screams ‘Wild-Wild-West’ like these booties. But you don’t have to be a cowgirl to sport these, you know that! These boots have come a long way from what they were originally and are a staple of any woman who loves boots. Clearly, they’ve been around since forever and are certainly not going out of fashion any time soon (or ever, if we may confidently declare). They usually have pretty sturdy block heels, making them good enough to wear right through the day. Buckled, strapped or sophisticatedly clean, pick your favourite cowboy ankle boots and strut across the road, comfortable and confident.
Knee-high boots
Go for knee-high boots in a single colour as these shoes make quite a statement and you wouldn’t want to go overboard with too many colours, patterns and prints. If you’re feeling a little bolder than usual, you can sport a pair in a single bright colour. Go for a subtle colour when it comes to your dress in that case and let these booties do the talking.
Laced boots
These booties are a strange combination between dainty and tough. Though laced-up boots to the knees look absolutely chic with a short dress, you can also try wearing them over a pair of skinny jeans – it gives the perfect silhouette. If, however, you aren’t into knee-high boots, you can go for laced ankle boots because they look just as great.
Open-toed ankle boots
Love boots but just got a nice pedicure done that you’d really like to show off? Open-toed boots are for you. There’s really nothing other than the ordinary in these boots apart from them allowing your toes to flaunt themselves. The best part, however, is that the open-toes make sure that these boots are an acceptable-wear in summer too. A casual walk in the park or a quick coffee date – these boots are good to go for any spontaneous plan.
